It pours a crystal clear, rich copper that is initially topped with two fingers of near white, fine foam. This lays down to just a crown within a few minutes. Lacing is good while the head is up but poor once it recedes.

The nose is weak, offering only cola like caramel malt, an earthy rainwater aroma and some hints of yeast.
As with the nose the taste is caramel forward, malty and fairly sweet. The finish is quick clean and dry. There is a nice medium body to it that is smooth except for a quick bite in the middle from the medium to high carbonation.

I like this one more than the numbers would indicate. Smooth and easy drinking as it is, the three that I have are going quickly. The issue is that it doesn't seem to fit well into the style, my bottles are labeled Vienna Style Beer and it does have some Vienna Lager like qualities.

Thin bodied with an average carbonation, this beer leans sweet. It starts weak but has a surprisingly robust finish. The aftertaste has a lingering sweetness that is balanced just enough. I get a touch of alcohol along with "autumn" flavors of a Märzen. If one can get by the smell, the beer is palatable but average.

Amber Ales have a hard time pleasing me, I often taste a little taste and wish there was more taste. This is pretty good, it has a little more body than a typical amber, a nice hops profile and most importantly looks great poured into a glass. If only it tasted as good as it looks. The smell is dull, but I prefer it to a Sam Adams.
